I’m thinking of submitting an application to transfer to Fordham for either the Spring or Fall of 2017. I am currently in another Jesuit university. My GPA would be higher if it wasn’t for one class, so it is at a 2.7. Finals are coming up so I am going to put all my effort into everything. I would think that applying for the spring would give me a better chance to get in; I could boost my GPA during spring semester. But what if I boosted my GPA in the spring and Fordham could see my midterm grades?
Rolling admissions start in March and I get my midterm grades a week or a few weeks after they start. What would be my best move? Apply for fall or spring semester?
